Drugs come in different forms．However，can you imagine that drugs come in chicken eggs？A team of scientists from England prove that it can come true．They have developed special chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside．These special drugs can help treat some kinds of diseases．Until now，they have made two kinds of drugs．One drug can treat skin cancer and the other can treat a nerve disease （神经性疾病）．
Certain drugs are produced by the special chickens inside their egg whites．These drugs are made of proteins（蛋白质） which can be found in animals'skin，hair，milk and meat．The scientists also use DNA technology to make sure that the drugs are only inside the egg whites．In this way，the chickens can stay healthy．
Besides egg whites，drugs made of proteins come in milk of cows and sheep．Compared with cows and sheep，the special chickens have ascendancyover them．First，they are cheaper to raise．Second，they need less room and grow faster．
These special chicken can pass on their drug﹣producing ability to their children．So far，five generations （代） of the special chickens have appeared．But scientists may need more time to make the drugs perfect．It's said that scientists will realize their dream in five to ten years．

Sleep is very important. A person who does not sleep dies faster than a person who does not eat. We spend about one-third(三分之一) of our lives on sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average(平均) of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours of sleep. An adult needs all average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older.
About one one-third Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep(睡着). The name of this problem is insomnia. Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” But that’s not really true. They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the morning, they only remember the times they were awake(醒着), so they think they were awake all night.
This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from one to the other to fall asleep. Mark Twain had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed.We spend about months on sleep every year.
